Technological (Safety) Operation Rules

1. The equipment must be charged by specially assigned people. Without permission, no one could operate it.

2. Dirty sample is not allowed to be put on X-Y stage. All of the operations must follow its operation rules.

3. Connect the power, bulbs and power indicator will be lighted.

4. Put metallurgical sample on the X-Y stage. Adjust Coarse / Fine knob to focus, until the image can be observed clearly. During adjustment, always keep the objective lens from touching the sample grinding surface.

5. Select the appropriate lens multiples, adjust screw (rough to fine) to focus and choose proper brightness.

6. Open the optical path switching lever on the right side of the device, which can acquire and analyze images.

7. Be careful when holding lenses. Never touch lens surface.

8. After experiment, objective lens should be lowered down. Turn its brightness to minimum, and then cut off the power supply.

9. Clean up and cover dust cover.
